The Â鶹ӳ»´«Ã½ today submitted its response to the NCAA concerning alleged infractions committed in the football and men’s basketball programs.<\/p>\n
“We are cooperating fully with the NCAA and addressing these issues in a responsible manner,” said Interim Director of Athletics Al Harms. “Â鶹ӳ»´«Ã½ is on the path to rebuilding a strong ‘culture of compliance’ that is consistent with our high standards of professional and personal conduct and our responsibilities to the NCAA.<\/p>\n
“Our considerable self-imposed penalties, along with our previous personnel actions, are important parts of that process.”<\/p>\n
Upon receiving the NCAA report in November, the university took several personnel actions as an immediate response. Â鶹ӳ»´«Ã½ also required that the Athletics Association’s compliance office report to the university’s chief compliance and ethics officer, as well as to the director of athletics.<\/p>\n
As detailed in the response filed today, Â鶹ӳ»´«Ã½ also will move forward with several self-imposed penalties for the football and men’s basketball programs.<\/p>\n
The most significant self-imposed penalties include the following: reductions in financial aid awards for men’s basketball, the vacation of wins from prior men’s basketball seasons and a reduction in recruiting days for football and men’s basketball.<\/p>\n
The NCAA report did not involve any other sports. The NCAA will hold a hearing about the allegations and Â鶹ӳ»´«Ã½’s responses in April in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n

Please note that Â鶹ӳ»´«Ã½ is also proposing vacating men\u2019s basketball victories from 2010-11 as well as 2009-10 and 2008-09. The original document excluded 2010-11.
